SYMPATHY.

4thold it a gift rare and half divine.
This ready feeling for fellows woes
Which from one nature TO another goes
In comprehensive intuition fine;
It's said that certain charmed witchhazel
wands
Will straightway ten OF treasures hidden
fast
In the earth's heart, aud softened shadows
cast
upon the spot, when held in rightful hands
80 sympathy, a rod of tender grace.
When held i'm loving hearts will gently find
The hidden heights or depths OF humankind
And hold their treasures in a fond embraee.
but an each magic wand TO WELD its art
Must holden be in honest hand or heart.

THE BLUES.

Their Coming Bis Military Reception
 And Promenade.
 The Blues, under the able administration of Major Embler, are in 8 very fine state of proficiency. The company was never more prosperous, even in the old days when they used to wear the big bearskin hats to the awe of the younger portion of the population and the qualification of the dealers in high hats Major Emb1er states that everything thus far gives good promise that the coming ball of the company on February 22 will be sue- cess and fulfill the anticipations already pre- vailing about town regarding the affair. An immense number of invitations have been sent out and great many have accepted, and the Union armory will without doubt see big collection of notables in military and civic life or in official station and as big a gathering of the veteran Blues as has ever turned out. The sister military companies of the Blues will all be represented by their officers and others, and everyb body and his sisters, aunts and cousins will be pres ent to see and participate in the festivities.
 As the invitations which were sent to the following companies have been accepted, the companies it is expected will be present in uniform: Governors Foot Guards of Hart ford, Company H, Sev0nty-frst regiment, N G. s. N. Y., which company Captain Embler commanded at the first battle of Bull Run, Company A of Waterbury, and each Company D from the three regiments.
 The Putnam Phalanx, of Hartford, are in vited, but have not accepted the invitation. The field and staff officers of all the Connec- ticut regiments also are invited.
 Captain Embler thinks that if the evening of the 22nd is pleasant the big armory will be filled and large number of those present will appear in their best uniforms. Many other military men are invited besides those mentioned. It will doubt be grand mil itary reception

He Was One Train Ahead

0. B. Andrews of Plainville, whom it was thought was killed at the Vermont disaster, has arrived home safe and sound much to the joy of his friends. It appears that only circumstance saved him from the wreck as the train on the New Haven and Northamp- ton road was four minutes late, and the con- ductor telegraphed ahead to the junction of the Central Vermont road to wait for his train, which was done, and Andrews and his fellow passengers thus escaped by chance, being on the train ahead of the one wrecked

and bars, broke off the hinge pins and tried to
lift the door from the vault. Unsuccessful in
this, with hammer they attempted to break
the panels in the safe doors. The attempt was
futile, and the thieves went to the sample de-
partment where the cloaks and sacques of re.

side of the room large number of sealskiH
sacques were hung hooks, and they took
down twenty eight of the most valuable ones.
A rack in the center of the room was stripped Of
